I feel there is much confusion regarding Ezelcant "Darwinist" agenda. Probably has to do with the use of the term "Superior" in show, which get assimilated with stronger. In effect, instead of the Ubermensch, hig goal is more the Last Man.

In previous Gundam shows, Newtypes and the likes were often classified as the step toward the Ubermensch, now remember that in contrast to that, Ezelcant has repeatedly labelled them as a regression.

Thus, rather than a darwinist approach, I'd tend to see him as vying for a form of posthumanism. Hig goal being to create a race of human wise enough to live in harmony.
In effect he isn't selecting violent humans and X-rounder, but drawing them out to die on the battlefront, ala Treize (also reminds me of Lelouch BTW), with the not smart enough dying in colony destructions, only leaving those apt enough to survive adversity in non violent ways.

IE, he is aiming for an "understanding" ending, but by weeding out those unable to understand each other.

Except Earth Sphere's Federation and Colony Nations already achieved peace on their own for a century after being horrified of what their weapons can do during the Colony Nation Wars.

Yeah, but not all think their "peace" is "fair". All the crazy, bitter people need to do is do their weapons build-up in a place where the Federation can't reach and do their crazy ideology. Not that the consequence is justifiable, but not that impossible to happen.

Well, that depends, if you are in for some brainless action, sure, it might be for you, you know?

but at the same time it's like playing any game with immortality, it gets boring really quick, its the same with Kira

See, this is what I don't get.

The protagonist will win regardless, so what difference does it make if he effortlessly dispatches his enemies or if he struggles before doing so?? We know that he's not gonna be beaten, so both scenarios are pretty much brainless.

Personally I really don't care much either way as long as it is kept entertaining but most people like to see the protag actually work for his or her victory winning impossible odds not with just overwhelming fire power alone. After all if you see them stomp every single enemy everytime it starts to get old for some.
